06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır.Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Devleti'nin demokrasi tarihinde darbeler önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. Son yirmi-otuz yıla bakıldığında artık Türkiye tarihinde darbelerin geçmiş dönemlerin anti-demokratik zemininde kaldığı ve Türk demokrasisinin ekonomik zenginliğe paralel olarak ilerlediği görülmektedir. 15 Temmuz 2016'da ise Türkiye bir kalkışma hareketi ile karşı karşıya kalmış bulunmaktadır. Bu bağlamda demokrasimize sahip çıkmak bütün vatandaşlarımızın ortak görevidir. Özellikle okullarımızda demokrasi eğitimini alan gelecek nesillerimizin bu gibi darbe ve kalkışmalarda demokrasiyi nasıl algıladıkları ve buna yönelik hayatlarında demokrasiyi nasıl tatbik ettikleri hayati önem taşımaktadır. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden biri olan fenomenoloji deseninde gerçekleştirilmiş olan bu araştırmaya Sakarya ili Adapazarı ilçesinde bulunan iki farklı sosyo-ekonomik düzeyi temsil eden iki okuldan toplamda 115 ortaokul sekizinci sınıf öğrencisi katılmıştır Bu hayati önemden yola çıkarak Sakarya ilinde 115 sekizinci sınıf öğrencisine yapılandırılmış soru formu uygulanmış sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin 15 Temmuz kalkışma hareketine karşı demokrasi ve demokrasiye sahip çıkma algıları ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Nitel olarak yürütülen çalışmada cevaplar doküman analizine göre incelenmiş söz konusu kavramların bilgisi yoklanmış ve belirlenen kategoriler üzerinden(demokrasi algısı, demokratik tutum ve davranışlara sahip olma becerisi, demokrasi sorumluluğu, 15 Temmuz kalkışması algısı ve bu kalkışma ile demokrasiyi ilişkilendirme) içerikler değerlendirilmiştir. Öğrencilerin büyük çoğunluğunun demokrasi algısına sahip olduğu, yüzde 70'inin demokratik davranış ve tutum sergilediği görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin yüzde 95'inin darbe ve kalkışma hareketlerine karşı olduğu ortaya çıkmış ve böyle bir karmaşa ortamında vatanı savunmanın en öncelikli tercihleri olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.The purpose of this study was to investigate resilience level of adolescences in terms of ostracism, social anxiety, gender and grade level. The sample of this study consists of volunteer 521 students, studying in 7th, 8 th, 9th, 10th and 11th grades of public middle and high schools have different qualifications in districts of İsatanbul, Başakşehir (1 high school), Bayrampaşa (1 high school), Gaziosmanpaşa (1 high school) and Sultangazi (4 middle school, 2 high school) in 2017-2018 academic year. 2 of these schools are middle schools, 2 are İmam Hatip Middle Schools, 1 is Anatolian İmam Hatip High School, 2 are Anatolian High Schools and 2 are Vocational and Technical Anatolian High schools, in this way total nuber of the schools are 9. 258 (49.5%) of participants are female and 263 (50.5%) are male. 97 (%18.62) of participants are in 7th grade, 116 (%22.26) are in 8th, 108 (%20.73) are in 9th, 103 (%19.77) are in 10th and 97 (%18.62) are in 11th grade. In the study, gender and grade level informations of the students have been collected by Personal Information Form developed by the researcher, resilience level data has been collected by Child and Youth Resilience Measure, developed by Liebenberg, Ungar and Van de Vijver (2012), revised by Liebenberg, Ungar and LeBlanc (2013) as 12-items form and adapted by Arslan (2015). The data of ostracism level has been collected by Ostracism Experience Scale For Adolescents, developed by Gilman, Carter-Sowell, DeWall, Adams ve Carboni (2013), adapted by Sertelin-Mercan (2016). The data of social anxiety level has been collected by Social Anxiety Scale For Adolescents developed by La Greca, Dandes, Wick, Shaw and Stone (1988), revised by La Greca and Stone (1993), adapted to adolescents by La Greca and Lopez (1998) and adapted to Turkish by Aydın and Tekinsav-Sütçü (2007). Towards the problems of the study, research data has been analysed by using correlation analysis, t test, one way ANOVA variance analysis and regression analysis. In the result of correlation analysis, stastistically meaningful negative correlations have been found between resilience and both of subscales of ostracism (being ignored, being excluded) and social anxiety among adolescents. As a result of regression analysis it has been obtained that being ignored, being excluded and social anxiety are significant predictors of resilience. In qonsequence of t test it has been observed that the resilience level of adolescents doesn't differ by gender. One-way ANOVA results also indicated that the resilience level of adolescents are declining from 7th grade to 9th grade and rising from 9th grade to 11th grade. But, the only statistically meaningful difference is that the 9th grade students' resilience level is dramatically lower, compared to the 7th grade students'

Thyroid function in healthy and unhealthy preterm newborns

Background: The thyroid gland and hormonal regulation are among the most important systems to be investigated in pre-term infants. This study sought to investigate thyroid hormone levels of healthy and unhealthy pre-term infants.Methods: The prospective study included 53 consecutive premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit within a duration of one year. Of these preterm babies, 20 were healthy, while 33 had problems such as asphyxia or RDS. Venous blood samples were collected at baseline 0-24 hours, 7 and 14 days and FT3, FT4, and TSH levels were determined. Other data recorded included demographic characteristics of the patients and clinical variables.Results: The most frequent health problems were RDS (87.9%), sepsis (30.3%), and retinopathy of prematurity (24.2%). The mean TSH levels showed a consistent decline at three consequent measurements in both groups, which were always significantly lower in unhealthy pre-terms. In both groups, TSH levels showed significant decreases on Day 7 and Day 14 compared to the baseline levels (p<005). The levels of FT3 and FT4 consistently showed significant correlations with gestational week and birth weight at each of the three measurements.Conclusion: Pre-term infants, especially those having problems, have significant hypothyroxinemia that may require thyroid hormone replacement therapy.Keywords: Prematurity, hypothyroxinemia, thyroid, TSH

The effect of gratitude-based intervention program on depressive symptoms and gratitude level

Depresyon dünya genelinde yaygınlığı yüksek bir ruhsal rahatsızlıktır. Şükür müdahale programlarının depresyonu azalttığı bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen Şükür Temelli Müdahale Programı'nın (ŞTMP) depresif belirtileri olan 18-40 yaş arası yetişkinlerin depresif belirtiler ve şükran düzeyine etkisini incelemektir. Araştırmaya başvuranlar arasından kriterleri karşılayan 132 katılımcı deney (N=66) ve kontrol (N=66) gruplarına seçkisiz olarak atanmıştır. Deney grubuna 4 haftalık ŞTMP uygulanmış, kontrol grubuna ise herhangi bir müdahale uygulanmamıştır. Katılımcıların depresif belirti düzeyleri Beck Depresyon Ölçeği (BDÖ) ile, şükran düzeyleri Şükran Ölçeği (ŞÖ) ile müdahale öncesi (ön test), müdahale bitimi (son test) ve müdahale bitiminden 4 hafta sonra (izleme testi) olmak üzere üç zaman noktasında ölçülmüştür. Katılımcılara ait veriler varyans analizi ve t test ile analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ŞTMP'nin deney grubunda depresif belirtileri anlamlı düzeyde azalttığını ve şükranı anlamlı düzeyde yükselttiğini göstermiştir. Ayrıca bu gelişmeler 4 hafta sonraki izleme ölçümünde de korunmuştur. Kontrol grubunun depresif belirti ve şükran düzeyleri hiçbir ölçüm noktasında anlamlı bir farklılık göstermemiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar araştırma hipotezleri ve literatür ile tutarlıdır. Bu araştırma depresyonun tedavisinde kullanılabilecek yöntemler açısından ilgili literatüre katkı sağlamaktadır.Depression is a mental health disorder with a high prevalence worldwide. Gratitude intervention programs are known to reduce depression. The aim of the present study is to analyze the effect of the Gratitude Based Intervention Program (GBIP), developed by the researcher, on the depressive symptoms and gratitude level of adults aged 18-40 with depressive symptoms. Among the applicants of the study, 132 participants meeting the criteria were randomly assigned to the experimental (N=66) and control (N=66) groups. 4-week GBIP was applied in the experimental group, and no intervention was applied to the control group. Participants' level of depressive symptoms were measured with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and gratitude levels were measured with the Gratitude Scale (GS) at three time points; before the intervention (pre-test), at the end of the intervention (post-test), and 4 weeks after the end of the intervention (follow-up test). The data of the participants were analyzed by analysis of variance and t test. The findings showed that GBIP significantly reduced depressive symptoms and significantly increased gratitude in the experimental group. In addition these improvements were maintained at the 4 weeks follow-up measurement. The depressive symptom and gratitude levels of the control group did not differ significantly at any measurement point. The results are in line with with the research hypotheses and the literature. This study contributes to the relevant literature in terms of methods that can be used in the treatment of depression

Sıçanlarda yeni bir penis allotransplantasyonu modeli

Bu çalışmanın amacı, sıçanda gerek deneysel cinsiyet değişimi çalışmalarında gerekse deneysel penis replantasyonu çalışmalarında kullabilecek bir penis allotransplantasyonu modeli oluşturmaktır. Çalışma iki gruptan oluşmaktadır. Birinci grupta (n=14), dişi ve erkek sıçan genital ve inguinal bölge anatomisi araştırılmış, sonrasında erkek sıçanlardan alınan penis kompozit grefti herhangi bir mikrovasküler anastomoz yapılmaksızın dişi sıçanlara transplante edilmiştir. İkinci grupta (n=14) ise erkek sıçanlardan alınan penis kompozit grefti, mikrovasküler anastomozla dişi sıçanlara transplante edilmiş, takibinde üretra anastomozu da yapılmıştır. Transplante edilen penis dokularının viabiliteleri direk gözlem, mikroanjiyografi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Allogreft olarak transplante edilen penis dokularının tamamı nekroza giderken (n=7), vaskülarize penis dokularının tamamının postoperatif 14.günde yapılan değerlendirme ile viabilitelerini koruduğu gösterilmiştir. Bu çalışmayla, daha önce tanımlanmamış cinsiyetler arası penil allotransplantasyon modeli tanımlanmıştır.The aim of this study is to describe a penile allotransplantation model in rats which can be used in both sex-change and penile replantation experimental studies. The study divided into two groups. In the first group of study (n=14), anatomical dissection was performed in genital and inguinal regions of male and female rats, and penile composite grafts harvested from male rats transplanted as grafts to female rats without any microvascular anastomosis. In the second group (n=14), penile composite grafts harvested from male rats transplanted to female rats with microvascular anastomosis between saphenous artery and vein and bulbus penis and dorsal penile vein respectively. After completition of vascular anastomosis, uretral anastomosis also performed. Direct observation and microangiography were used to assess the viability of the transplanted penile tissues. All of the penile tissues transplanted as grafts (n=7) necrosed while all of the penile tissues transplanted with microvascular anastomosis survived after postoperative 14th day. In this study, a penile allotransplantation model between sexes has been introduced which has never been described in the literature before

The anaerobic/aerobic treatment of Aksaray domestic wastewater at ambient conditions

WOS: 000281303100009Wastewater management, as water pollution control and resources management, is one of the prioritized problems of Turkey including in Aksaray. The domestic wastewater of Aksaray City was classified as polluted domestic wastewater when COD was considered. Treatability of wastewater was investigated in this study by using upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactor and aerobic completely mixed activated sludge reactor (CMASR), with ambient temperatures for duration of approximately five months. The removal of organic matter differed in direct relation with the water's pollutant degree but was not significantly affected by the temperatures. A total of 58% and 63% of the organic matter was removed in the first and second phases, respectively COD removal efficiency of the system with HRT of 12.7 hours and organic loading rate of 1.47 COD/m(3).day was obtained as 78%. This study states that domestic wastewater in UASB/CMASR could be digested efficiently in Aksaray CityNigde-Aksaray University-TURKEY [BAP 2005/09]This study was supported by the funding of Nigde-Aksaray University-TURKEY (BAP 2005/09).

Anticancer Activity of Lichen Extract (Usnea sp.) Based Synthesized Ag@ZnO Bimetallic Nanocomposite

Bimetallic nanoparticles (NP) have improved properties such as antimicrobial, anticancer and photocatalytic activity due to the synergistic effects of their components. Unmet needs of the current cancer treatments encourage researchers for the new treatment approaches especially natural products. In this study, we aimed to investigate the antiproliferative effects of&nbsp;Ag@ZnO&nbsp;NP on the SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cell line.&nbsp;Ag@ZnO&nbsp;NP was dispersed in distilled water via ultrasonication and diluted with the medium as the 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 200 and 400 μg/mL final concentrations. The cell viabilities were investigated by MTT test at 24th hours of&nbsp;Ag@ZnO&nbsp;NP treatments. In MTT test, the lower concentrations of&nbsp;Ag@ZnO&nbsp;NP (5, 10, 25 μg/mL) increased the cell viability (p&nbsp;&lt; 0.01,&nbsp;p&nbsp;&lt; 0.01 and&nbsp;p&nbsp;&lt; 0.05, respectively) whereas it was markedly decreased (p&nbsp;&lt; 0.001) the cell viabilities at higher concentrations (100, 200 and 400 ug/ml) compared with the control group. Our results showed that&nbsp;Ag@ZnO&nbsp;NP has antiproliferative effects on SH-SY5Y cells whereas it increases cell proliferation in the low dose. The effects in the low dose may depend on its activation of compensatory mechanisms in the cell. We have thought that it is worthwhile to research its anticancer potential on the different cancer cell lines.</div

Effect of hydraulic retention time on continuous biocatalytic calcification reactor

WOS: 000282240800065PubMed: 20633997High calcium concentrations in the wastewaters are problematic, because they lead to clogging of pipelines, boilers and heat exchangers through scaling (as carbonate, sulfate or phosphate precipitates), or malfunctioning of aerobic and anaerobic reactors. As a remedy to this problem, the industry typically uses chemical crystallization reactors which are efficient but often require complex monitoring and control and, as a drawback, can give rise to highly alkaline effluents. Biomineralization are emerging as alternative mechanisms for the removal of calcium from aqueous environments. Biocatalytic calcification reactors (BCR) utilize microbial urea hydrolysis by bacteria for the removal of calcium, as calcite, from industrial wastewater. Hydraulic retention time (HRT) effect on calcium removal was studied with a continuous feed BCR reactor treating a simulated pulp paper wastewater. Study showed that HRT is important parameter and HRT of 5-6 h is optimum for calcium removal from calcium-rich wastewaters. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.
